What a delight!…read more While spending a day in Vilanova i la Geltru with friends, a local recommended this place to us. It is, without reservation, the best waterside restaurant I've had the pleasure to visit since moving to Spain more than two years ago. While many of the dishes are traditional, they *do* have a wonderful twist on many recipes... from tapas (like patatas bravas - what a sauce!) to their casera (homemade) dishes, like their various paellas. Our group opted for a half dozen different tapas (the calamares a la roman were my favorite), and then we shared the "arroz pulpito" paella. Truly outstanding! (...and if you know me, you know I don't use that word lightly.) So - if you're anywhere near here, come check this place out. You won't be sorry!

I fully recommend it! This restaurant has very original and good different types of paellas (we…read moretried 7 of them and the best one in our opinion was the truffle and mushrooms one) but the best were the Tapas... we had the chicken croquetas that were perfectly made, not too saucy not too dry. The chipirones that are little fried squid, my favorite tapa in the whole world and they made it very very good!! And the calamares a la Romana that are the classic squid hoops not oily and very well battered. If you'd like to go during usual Spanish lunch time (2-3) I'd call them and make reservations, they are usually pretty busy.

Newly opened bar specialising in cider…read more The interior (which is deceptively large behind a narrow frontage) is long and narrow, and decorated in a pleasing modern style. The main event is their large range of bottled ciders, which come from the Asturias or Basque regions of Spain. Most of them are fairly dry, and still in character, and around 6% ABV. A bottle costs around EUR4-EUR6, so it's good value for a night out - if you like cider, of course. If you don't, they also serve a good range of wine and a few beers, with tempting tapas on the counter to help line your stomach. The only downer for me was that the very nice member of staff behind the bar wasn't actually that knowledgeable about the ciders, which struck me as a bit odd for a specialist bar.

Great tapas, friendly service and nice athmosphere. We went there after beach, with hungry kids and…read moreeverything was perfect.

With reservations a must, six of us finally got to try La Picara. There are a variety of tapas, ponchos and raciones on their menu. We tried a lot of them, and everything was delicious with the possible exception of Sepia a la Plancha, grilled squid which was too tough and chewy. Do NOT neglect to see their "Suggeriments fora de Carta" on a chalkboard. Most every off-the-chart suggestion we tried was exceptional, with my favorite actually being Tomaquets de Temporada amp Burratina í old D'Alfabrega. This was probably the best Burrata and Tomatoes serving I've ever tasted. It must be their spiced basil oil. The other standout special was a delicious Pintxo de Foie a la Plantxa, luxurious grilled foie gras skewer. A couple of drag queens came in promoting their show. They were a hoot at our table. Paola, the owner, was so kind and gracious. Service was fantastic. La Picara is definitely a must try during your time in Sitges!

Everything is delicious and everytime my husband and I visit his parents, we always come here for tapas at least once... or twice during our vacation here.

One of my favourite seafood restaurants anywhere. Simply because no one knows about it (until now)…read moreand it's always a winner, whoever you take there, whenever you go, whatever the situation. You're free to ask for things from the menu, but the intelligent thing is to ask them to feed you whatever they like. The catch of the day is invariably delicious, and their sauces are so exquisite - simply gorgeous. I've spent hours here outside, drinking white wine, ploughing my way through course after course of ridiculously good fish, rice and seafood dish. This is truly great. Brilliant for families and groups of friends, especially outside on a sunny autumn day.
